opinion that the thermometer which IS

The abuse Of state prison convicts in the
South under the lease system which prevails
in most of the states has long been crying
evil and blot ON the civilization of the
country. The prisons in those states are
not provided, as at the North with ample
room for the accommodation of the prison
ers and equipped with workshops and other
means for putting them at work inside the
prison walls. As consequence system
has grown up of leasing the convicts for
work outside. They work in chain-gangs,
and certain firms make a business of EN-
ploying them at low price per day, as in
road making, ditch-digging, stone-break-
ing, and the like. The sexes are employed
Unfortunately, and it is no wonder that
beating, starving, filth disease breeding
and gross immortality are the rule. In the
present governor of Georgia, the exCon-
federate General John b. Gordon, man
has at last been found fearless enough to
lay strong hands ON the system and summon
the members of the convict-lease ring be-
fore him for hearing. The scene when
the hearing began is described as "a pictur-
esque one. Beside the governor sat the
Encouragement, before him were a circle
of the best lawyers of the state, retained
for and against the convict system while
in the centre stood two colored men heavily
chained and in stripes, The examination
of the prisoners began, and upon their per
sons were found wounds inflicted by "whip
ping bosses" which prevented them from
lying down. When one of them told his
story he said that the whipping boss came
around in the night, called for board, had
him thrown over it, and then whipped him
till the blood ran in streams down his legs
1t was in evidence that it was a common
thing for prisoners TO be so bruised and
beaten that they could not lie down The
prison physician testified that for four years
the lessees had resisted his scheme for the
Improvement of the condition of the pris
oners, and it appears that the lease ring has
grown to be AN important if not a control
ing factor in the administration of the state
affairs. If the picture of Gen. Gordon
given in the September Century, as an il
lustration of one of the war papers, doe,
not belle him, he is man with all the ugly
energy aud decision needed TO probe the
whole odious system to the bottom, EXPOSE
it 10 the public view, and institute re-
form

From the St Johnsbury Caledonian
The last instalment of the Lincoln histo-
ry in the September Century magazine and
the recent interview of the Toledo Blade
reporter with Robert T. Lincoln in relation
to the coming presidential campaign furn-
ish two rather interesting paragraphs as
showing the attitude of father and son
when approached in much the same
manner ON the same subject The Century
historians say that Abraham Lincoln was
approached by an Illinois editor early in
April, 1893, over year before the assem-
bling of the national convention that nom
mated him, with the request that he per
init the use of his name as candidate for
the presidency. Mr. Lincoln's answer was
dated Springfield, ILL.,, April 10, 1859, and
in it he says:
II must in candor say do not think myself fit
for the presidency. | certainly am battered and
gratited that some partial friends think m me in
that connection: but really think il best for our
cause that no concerted effort, such you sug-
gest should be made
Last weeks interview of the Toledo
Blade reporter with Robert r. Lincoln
brought from the son these words so strik-
ingly like those spoken by the father near
ly 30 years before and giving evidence of
the same modest estimate of his own capa-
bilities
while am gratifed by the kind tone of these
references To myself as an independent matter, |
greatly regret the use OF my name in connection
with any public office whatever. My fit
ness Is not To be compared with that of hundreds
Of other good Republicans"
The interview furnished other evidences
that the son has inherited many of his
fathers traits.
